Chapter 817 Talent transfer?
So when Gu Chengyuan suddenly asked about the development of crystal energy technology, it was not because he had no idea, but because he wanted to find out the research level and direction of forces of the same level.
After all, technological breakthroughs are sometimes quite mysterious. Many breakthroughs come from accidents or key talents...
Otherwise, when the Goryeo room-temperature superconductivity was faked, there wouldn't have been so many people who swore and proved it everywhere as if they were personally involved, and made laughable remarks such as "science and technology is in the hands of civilization."
There is no guarantee that the Southern Theater will suddenly be protected by national destiny, and because of luck or some specific talent, there will be an explosion in crystal energy technology!
After all, compared with the Southern War Zone, the Ye Province Military Zone is not even Zhou Bang’s adopted son.
He is the type who simply wants to squeeze into the Zhou Bang family and forcefully wants to become the eldest son and fight for the family property.
I should be thankful that the national destiny did not take care of the Ye Province Military Region. I really don't dare to expect any metaphysical protection anymore.
What's more, according to Gu Chengyuan's understanding, the entire Zhou State's cutting-edge biotechnology and research centers are basically concentrated in coastal areas.
Among the first echelon of biotechnology, except for Beijing and Hubei Province, which are considered inland areas, the rest of Shanghai, Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, and Guangdong Province are all on the coastal areas!
The main activity area of the Southern War Zone after the end of the world happens to be Guangdong Province, which has cutting-edge biotechnology research and development centers such as BGI (the world's largest genomics research center) and Guangdong Bio Island (International Biomedicine R&D Center).
Even due to problems with the recovery progress, these research centers have not yet been recovered by the Southern Theater.
From the perspective of the talent pool alone, the quality of the Southern Theater's talent pool is definitely more than one order of magnitude higher than that of the Night Province Military Region, so the possibility of drawing high-level talents is naturally higher than that of the Night Province Military Region!
Taking all of the above into consideration, it is no wonder that Gu Chengyuan is concerned about the research progress of Jingneng Technology in the southern theater.
If there is a system cheat on thermal weapons and equipment, the opponent will never be able to get ahead of you, and will only be left further and further behind. However, this is not the case in biotechnology. Even if there is a system cheat on buildings, it is difficult to close the talent gap between the two sides in the biological field...
So while the other party needs his help, Gu Chengyuan naturally wants to maximize his benefits. If the other party's crystal energy technology gets ahead, he can also "exchange" it over!
But obviously, Gu Chengyuan is destined to be disappointed...
As a military leadership organization, the Southern Theater Command is extremely obsessed with firepower. After all, as a soldier, if you no longer believe in the second life in your hands, can you still be called a soldier?
Although the Southern Theater Command is also conducting research on crystal energy technology, it is clearly not on the same level as the Night Province Military Region in terms of resource allocation.
So after hearing Gu Chengyuan's words, Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater, only reacted briefly and shook his head:
"To be honest with you, Commander Gu, we haven't done much research on crystal energy, and the level is average. We have achieved some results, such as drugs that can enhance people's physical fitness, but the mortality rate is too high, close to 95%..."
"So after comprehensive consideration, we invested all our limited resources into the project of solving the "virus serum" problem."
"Viral serum?" Upon hearing these four words, Gu Chengyuan instantly became interested!
If we were to say what the most disgusting thing about the apocalypse is, it would undoubtedly be the virus's abnormal ability to infect.
In battles between humans, even if both legs and feet are blown off or the skull is blown off, there is still a chance of survival.
But in the end times, a scratch the size of a hair, an injury that can heal itself on its own within a few minutes without going to the hospital, is already fatal!
The Ye Province Military Region's investment in the development of the "Virus Serum" is no less than that of the "Crystal Core Warrior" project, and is even higher. However, from the initiation of the project to now, the progress has almost remained at a standstill...
When the "Crystal Core Warrior" is thrown in, at least some bubbles will appear, but the "Virus Serum" is a complete black hole. No matter how many things are thrown into it, there will be no ripples!
Could it be that the Southern Theater has come up with something? Thinking of this, Gu Chengyuan immediately asked:
"Have you achieved any success in developing virus serum?"
After this sentence was spoken, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the private room.
Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater, raised his head and drank the orange juice in his glass, then smiled bitterly and said:
"No..."
......
However, when the whole audience was silent because of this straightforward "No", Li Xuemou asked back in a probing tone:
"You suddenly asked about the crystal energy research. Could it be that you have already mastered the application method of crystal core?"
The leaders of the Southern Theater are not stupid. They know that the Ye Province Military District is exchanging equipment for crystal cores. This means that the crystal cores must have some unknown value that is equal to or even higher than the weapons and equipment.
Gu Chengyuan's initiative to raise this topic naturally gave Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater, the opportunity to ask questions.
"Of course, our development of crystal energy application technology has reached the second generation!"
For Gu Chengyuan, Jingneng technology was not a secret. No one could take it away from him even if he told them.
Moreover, according to his idea, using technology that is not yet suitable for large-scale application in the Ye Province Military Region to exchange for more crystal cores and achieve faster development speed is undoubtedly more cost-effective.
Anyway, I can't use the second-generation technology myself, so instead of hoarding it, I might as well give it away and exchange it for more things.
Gu Chengyuan was actually very worried about the situation in the southern war zone. There were hordes of zombies and tides of sea beasts. He was also afraid that this big client of his might be gone one day.
Therefore, appropriately strengthening the other party's strength is completely in line with Gu Chengyuan's plan for long-term interests.
As for the question of whether it would be a disaster, Gu Chengyuan was not worried at all. After all, he had just reached the war zone level and had already gained strength far beyond that of his opponent!
If I can turn the other person into a tiger like this, then I am truly unjust and deserve to die!
"Second generation crystal energy technology?"
Hearing Gu Chengyuan's words, the Southern Theater Chief of Staff's eyes lit up instantly, and at the same time he couldn't help but curse in his heart:
Damn, how many good things are there in the Night Provincial Military Region?
Every time when you feel like you have figured out the other party, they always come up with something new! What's the popular saying to describe it? It's like a treasure trove of allies!
"The second generation crystal core technology refers to the use of biomass energy in the crystal core to enhance human quality. Our main features are..."
.....
....These are the two application routes we currently have!"
Soon, as Gu Chengyuan introduced, the eyes of Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater, became brighter and brighter, and at the same time, he felt more and more regretful the more he thought about it!
Wrong! Wrong! All wrong!! It turns out that we chose the wrong direction before!
The real treasure is thrown into the warehouse and gathering dust, while a lot of resources are wasted on the illusory "virus serum"!
When he thought about how much time and resources had been wasted for nothing, Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater Command, was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe!
Of course, Li Xuemou also knew that if the time scale was long enough, the direction of investment in viral serum might not be wrong.
But the key question is, where is the long time scale to verify and wait for the research to bear fruit?
You have to know that in this world, there may be survivors dying every minute and every second...
So we can't blame him for being short-sighted, but the environment does not allow it, and he must convert limited resources into immediate combat power as quickly as possible!
Only by surviving first can we talk about the future and the long term!
Therefore, precisely because he figured this out, Li Xuemou, Chief of Staff of the Southern Theater Command, simply gave up on his reputation.
A pair of old eyes stared at Gu Chengyuan who was sitting opposite, and burst out with a "not very smart" expectation like a girl...
hiss~
Facing such a pair of eager eyes, Gu Chengyuan was a little afraid to look directly at them...
"Commander Gu, is there any possibility of cooperation in the field of Crystal Energy II technology? We can provide a large number of talents in the field of biological research!"
